He said that great powers are more required leadership: “Frankly speaking, I am more in favor of diplomacy. I think the
European Union and the Eurasian Economic Community should have a dialogue. The
European Union may cooperate more with Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus. The U.S’ mistake is that it didn’t join the China-led Asian Infrastructure Bank. It doesn’t mean that we agree with everything, but one need to be able to work with the recommendations of partners”.
Former Latvian President Vaira Vike-Freiberga disagreed with it and said that no country should be responsible for the security of the world: “They are responsible for peace within their borders, with their neighbors. They can’t decide the fate of the world. As former head of the country, I consider great powers’ making all decisions is wrong. I think that the countries can’t be based on the decisions of the biggest countries.”
